2 more than twice a number is 350

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 350" is what we are solving here.

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 2, you get 350.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 350

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 2 = 350

2x + 2 - 2 = 350 - 2
2x = 348

2x/2 = 348/2
x = 174

Answer = 174

The answer above is correct, because twice 174 is 348, and 2 more than 348 is in fact 350.
